Christmas is big business they say and me ent doubtingYou see all and sundry does pack up the groceryWomen always want new curtainAnd the house want repaintingIs only then businessmen could winThey say that Christ didn't born on Christmas DayThey say that is a pagan holidayI say, "No way!"

'Cause when I see the love in the land [Oy, it's Christmas again]All man Jack stretching dey hand [Oy, it's Christmas again]Is the only time of the year [Oy, it's Christmas again]The rich does show the poor that they care [Oy, it's Christmas again]Children does be happy eating things they never seeChristmas does unite all family [Oy, it's Christmas again]Oh oh, sing it with me [Oy, it's Christmas again]Come on, come leh we spree! [Oy, it's Christmas again]

People all over the country busy, busyWhole month they preparing for Christmas morningChildren getting up early to see what Mammy and DaddyHave for them under the treeThey really say Christmas is for childrenIt is a joy to share this day with them and dey lil friend.

'Cause as you know, Christmas is a love [Oy, it's Christmas again]It is a special gift from above [Oy, it's Christmas again]Christmas does put spirit in the air [Oy, it's Christmas again]To make each and every one share [Oy, it's Christmas again]All little girls and boys playing with their brand new toysOh how inside me does fill with joy [Oy, it's Christmas again]Oh oh, sing it with me [Oy, it's Christmas again]Come on, come leh we spree! [Oy, it's Christmas again]

All who don't celebrate it, I ent envyBut they must understand, I have my traditionAnd it is my prerogative to be happy and festiveLeave me, let me live!Going 'round by friends and familyEating, drinking and being merry with everybody.

You see, Christmas does come only once a year [Oy, it's Christmas again]When the music start, I have to be there [Oy, it's Christmas again]I must parang whether sun or rain [Oy, it's Christmas again]Is just the Spanish blood in mih vein [Oy, it's Christmas again]Can't speak Spanish at all but when the hammer fallI could sing a good serenal [Oy, it's Christmas again]Oh oh, sing it with me [Oy, it's Christmas again]Come on, come leh we spree! [Oy, it's Chrismtas again]Oh oh, sing it with me [Oy, it's Christmas again]Come on, come leh we spree! [Oy, it's Chrismtas again]

Lord, Please walk beside me through this day. Clear the heavy air with the lightness of Your Presence. Guide my hands and steady my heart that I may give comfort when I cannot give hope, that I may give relief when I do not have a cure, and that I may radiate Your healing peace when the limits of science, time, and the human body overwhelm us all.Amen
